Tuchel Is Adamant: Bellingham Goes to the World Cup — Injured or Not
Tuchel isn't waiting to see how Bellingham's injury develops — England's manager has already made up his mind.
A hamstring problem won't cost Jude Bellingham his place in the England squad. Tuchel has already made up his mind.
Jude Bellingham is currently sidelined with a hamstring tendon injury, which raised eyebrows at Real Madrid and sent a wave of anxiety through England's World Cup preparations. But from Tuchel's perspective, there's no real debate.
England's manager has made it clear that Bellingham's place at the 2026 World Cup won't depend on pre-tournament friendlies. As long as he returns to action with Real Madrid before the start of the tournament, his inclusion is practically automatic.
And with the ability to play across multiple attacking positions, Bellingham isn't just a key player for England — he's irreplaceable.
